Farmers were demonstrated on Thursday night in some cities in Occitania, including Montauban or Rodez, to support the DupBombo bill destined to “raise the limitations to the exercise” of their profession and promote access to pesticides.
Some 200 protesters, some of which at the wheel of about forty tractors with trailers, gathered in Montauban, where the police were deployed to avoid a manure manure in front of the PS headquarters, an AFP journalist said. “Today the law of Duple has taken leadership due to parliamentarians,” said Damien Garrigues, of FDSEA 82.
In Rodez, in Aveyron, a dozen farmers have downloaded straw boots in a roundabout near the airport and hung a large banner in which we could read: “Deputies, not leading Dute,” said an AFP journalist. The protesters responded to a call from the Fersea, gathering at the 13th FDSEA of the region, and young farmers in Occitanie, inviting them to “take mobilizations” on Thursday night.
“It’s not easy to mobilize”
However, the organizers did not necessarily expect a strong mobilization at this time of the year, seeing these events rather as a “beginning.” According to Pierre Hylari, president of La Ja de Occitania, many farmers have to do “heavy spring jobs.” “It’s not easy to mobilize,” he told AFP.
Pierre Hylari also stressed the “complementarity” between this regional call and the launched on Thursday by Fensea Arnaud Rousseau to mobilize from May 26. That day, the text examined by Senator LR Laurent Dupomb in the National Assembly.
Adopted in the Senate in the first reading and currently in the Committee of the Assembly, Fensea considers it “vital” to meet the expectations of the operators after last year’s crisis. For Arnaud Rousseau, the word given by the government “is not carried out” because the text, which provides in particular to facilitate water storage, access to pesticides or the expansion of farms, “disintegrates” in the Committee of the Assembly.
